It’s important not to end up spending too much time on this issue, though.

It’s even more important that you don’t draw attention to the kind of behavior you’d rather not see in your online community.

Unfortunately, that’s exactly what the Atheist Forums website does with their Hall of Shame.

Creating and maintaining a hall of shame consumes time that is better spent cultivating your community. It also acts as a badge of honor for those listed. It could even encourage other disillusioned (or bored) members to try getting on the list.
